A Family Tie -

I contacted A Family Tie to help me find the best assisted living environment for a loved one with Alzheimer's. Peggy Breda was so understanding of how difficult the situation was. She immediately put me at ease and asked all the right questions. She carefully listened as I explained what was important to my loved one, and to myself. Peggy also asked me the price range. Once she had enough information she knew exactly which environments could be considered. Peggy suggested I look at a specific residence, and set up a virtual tour/interview for me. That environment suited our needs perfectly! Peggy touched base with me and provided moral support as I went through the lengthy admission process. She stayed in touch after the move to make sure that both my needs and my loved one's needs were being met. Given Peggy's many years of experience in the senior living arena, she understood how difficult the situation was both for my loved one and for myself, the caregiver. I feel so fortunate that I worked with Peggy Breda and A Family Tie to make a really hard and painful decision that worked out so well.

I am so glad I reached out to A Family Tie to help me find a place that would best meet my parents' needs! Helping your parents navigate the decision to move to a retirement community can be stressful and overwhelming, but I speak from experience when I say that you'll feel far more confident in your family's choices after consulting with A Family Tie.

The owner, Peggy, worked as the director of a retirement community for many years and, as a result, has invaluable insight as to how retirement communities operate in practice and what to be paying attention to in making these difficult choices. Peggy fairly presented the pros and cons of various options, giving us the information we needed to find the best fit. Peggy is patient, caring, knowledgeable, and really understands how difficult these changes can be for the elderly. Peggy has even supported us beyond the initial move, assisting us with understanding how to work with the staff of these retirement communities to ensure that ongoing needs will be met.

I highly recommend A Family Tie!

Both Tony and Peggy at A Family Ties were so helpful in the search for a home for my mother. Making the decision to move my mom during COVID was difficult but Tony worked with us to find a place. We thought the place was great, but my mother didn’t. Both Tony and Peggy spent lots of time helping navigate options and next steps. We made the decision to move my mother to a different place and it is perfect for her. I never would have found her current home without them.

More people should know about this. I contacted Peggy through a friend of a friend, and Peggy has been absolutely wonderful! She encourages me to call her whenever I need to and to talk about anything I need to. It's been wonderful knowing there are people out there ready to help in times of uncertainty with our family. From giving references of elder care lawyers to finding people to help with home health, it's just incredible. They cover everything that you need to know.This is an amazing service! I highly recommend them to everyone!

I contacted Peggy from A Family Tie when my aunt was preparing to move from her apartment of 50 years to a senior living community. Peggy was incredibly helpful in discussing senior living options, and we were preparing to set up visits together to learn more about them, when my aunt's health took a pretty severe turn for the worse and she was hospitalized. Peggy stayed with me, pivoting from senior living communities to help me understand options for physical rehabilitation centers in the Washington, DC area to ensure that my aunt got the best care. As a non-Washingtonian myself, Peggy's counsel helped me navigate options in an unfamiliar city. Peggy gave an incredible amount of time to help me work through a situation that seemed to be changing by the hour, and I couldn't be more grateful. I would certainly recommend Peggy and A Family Tie to anyone interested in options to support seniors as they transition to new living arrangements.

I received warm, professional and compassionate service. Our mother is suffering from rapidly declining memory issues and we were looking to make a change in her living arrangements and care plan. We wanted to help our mother receive an increased quality of care and attention. The people at A Family Tie listened carefully, completely understood what we were facing and suggested we investigate what turned out to be an excellent alternative choice for her care. They clearly had the experience to help us find the right fit for Mom. I recommend their service without reservation.
